The House is debating H.Res 676, the resolution authorizing a lawsuit against President Obama for his use of executive power in implementing the Affordable Care Act. A final vote is expected around 6 p.m.
wait until who takes the Senate?
McConnell?
The 11/12 GOPErs who just passed the border funding bill to the floor?
What are they going to do?
WITH 5 Republicans voting Nay
And the 5 republican who voted nay are even more worthless!!!!!!!!
theater. Vichy Repubs won’t use their powers so they go to the courts...when a judge throws it out what then more ineptitude!
Final vote: 225 to 201.
Sure doesn’t feel like much of a victory.
Recap here:

Actually, the bill will die in the Senate along with a hundred or so others.
Five Republicans joined a unanimous Democratic conference to vote against the measure. They were Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY), Walter Jones (R-SC), Paul Broun (R-GA), Steve Stockman (R-TX) and Scott Garrett (R-NJ).
House GOP: All Farce, All The Time.
Now, what?
Impeachment is the remedy not this. HOWEVER now that it has been put forward it needs to succeed. Putting forward a half-ass plan like this and then having it fail would be even more pathetic
All we can do until November is ... nothing. Wait until we take the Senate and THEN do what needs to be done.
The GOP losership have done nothing during the first six years of the Age of Obama. They’ll do nothing for the last two. Take that to the bank. The day after the mid term everything will be about tip toeing to 2016. The betlway GOP simply do not care about issues important to us like immigration, IRS, Benghazi, etc. They will never substantively engage Obama. Period.
“Stop yer hatin’”.......The Barry Obama Minstrel Show........
It’s not a bill, it’s a resolution. Senate approval is not required.
“This is a huge joke.
Congress has the power of the purse and impeachment.
Filing a lawsuit is ridiculous.”
These Congress critters have only one priority and it is to get reelected (and limit the politics to only two Parties).
They don’t give a dxmn about the Constitution, citizen’s rights, freedoms, ethics or honesty. If they did they would have impeached (not sued) Obama over many other REAL issues, just as they should have gone after Bush for many transgressions too like spying on citizens, failing to defend our borders, and a Patriot Act that was anything but Patriotic. I was never a Bush fan. He was a global neocon corporatist not a conservative. Until we see a POTUS held accountable it will only get worse if Hillary or Jeb get their foot in the door.
Am I the only one to spot this little fraud ?

C-Span will require registration ? Uh.... Hang on, tex.
C-Span. Wants us to register. To watch. Public TV. What does C-Span possibly want from a registry list ?
Just received via email.
Moments ago, the U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation allowing House Republicans to sue President Obama for his unconstitutional executive overreach.
This is a HUGE STEP in stopping President Obama.
Speaker Boehner and House Republicans are suing this Imperial President for expanding his power and control beyond the constitutional and legal limits.
President Obama has failed to uphold the crux of his constitutional duty – to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed” – and he must be held accountable.
The only one I’ve heard of is Stockman. Why did they do this, I wonder?
